I have 2 free tickets to giveaway for next week's Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings show at Rams Head. Those of you who are familiar with the modern queen of soul, know how great of a contest this is. Those who don't, please familiarize.

Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings are continually stuck in the 1960s and 70s, and us folks who currently wish to get down and funky have been reaping all the benefits. Sharon grew up idolizing James Brown and singing gospel backed by funk bands at talent shows, eventually leading to her current band that's got more soul than most know what to do with.

This isn't you're momma's soul either. Well, maybe it is. Either way, Sharon and her band will most certainly bring countless booty-shaking boogies to keep the crowd forgetting that it's 2009 and the Orioles no longer have Frank Robinson in outfield.
